FIRST Robotics Programs

FIRST is For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology

D51 STEM proudly partners with Colorado FIRST to provide engaging, hands-on extracurricular robotics programs for students in grades 2–12. Through this partnership, students have the opportunity to explore science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts in a dynamic, team-oriented environment. Programs such as FIRST LEGO League Explore, FIRST LEGO League Challenge, and FIRST Tech Challenge are offered, allowing students to design, build, and program robots while developing essential skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation. By participating, students gain real-world experience that fosters creativity, leadership, and a passion for STEM fields, preparing them for future academic and career success. 

Contact your child's school to see if they offer these robotics opportunities!
